Finance Manger beta is an app that helps in financial management needs on the go. Combined with an user friendly interface the functionality of the app includes calculations related to loans, expense tracking and much more. 
 Some of the main features  are discussed here:

1.       Financial Calculations :

a.       Loan Calculator: Loan calculator is a feature which gives user everything he needs to need to know about loan. It can calculate

                                                               i.      EMI

The results of the calculator are approximate values to aid the user in approximate foreign exchange calculations even if the user is devoid of access to internet.
1.    Expenses :
Finance manager beta gives an entirely new dimension to expense tracking. With this the user can instantly update his expenses, thus the traditional problem of forgetting the expenses is no more.  
                                


                 


As quoted earlier user friendliness is the main aim of this app. The page provides exclusive access for the user to input that particular day’s expense directly through quick feed today’s expense and view them using view todays expenses so that the hassle in selecting the date and then navigation.
 
a)    Expenses management: Expense management is very much easier with finance manager beta. It presents the user with the expenses in a variety of ways. The user has also the option of adding new expenses, editing previous expenses even for the previous days. Above all It categorizes the expenses.
b)    Report: Finance manager beta also generates report for every month. It presents the user with a bar graph with different categorical expenses and the total expenses. The user can also view categorical expenses separately for that month (by clicking bar Corresponding to that category) so that he can identify the area where maximum expense occurs

 
c)    Search : If the user forgets which date the expense was made, the details can always be retrieved using the description that was provided earlier while feeding the expense.


                  
d)    Cash in Hand feature: The cash in Hand refers to the amount of liquid cash one has. It is updated in real time as the expense is made or if withdrawal or deposit is done. It helps the user to match the cash in hand in the app and his actual value. This enables the user to know the present status, find if some expense has been missing from record etc.




.


3.Bank accounts :
         Bank accounts is a small feature that helps the user in tracking the balance of all the bank account one has. This removes the hassle of referring several documents and asking the bank representatives and other means for getting the balance particularly if one has multiple bank accounts. 
 

Additional Features:
1.   Password Protection: Password protection is given for this app. This makes sure that nobody other than the user of this app has access to the financial data. The user has also got options to change or disable the password option and re enable as one wishes to.
2.  Customized Help: User friendliness is one of the important parameters that was considered while developing the app. But still if the user has some difficulty there is always help given in almost all the pages giving descriptions and information about the functionality of that feature. This enables the user to understand the feature of the app then and there.

The apps could serve better purpose if it is designed to sync with MS Money as ultra soft money apps for windows mobile 6.1 platform. There is no such apps for 7.5 mobile . There are large number of persons interested in this who use MS Money for standard financial application.
